I've had lots of totes. But now the most important thing is, Can I lift it into the car myself?. Each machine has a tote. The Bernina 850 only moves for service....it's just too heavy. The Brother Novelle 1500 S is longer than most totes, so I had to look a long time for one that fit and didn't tempt me to fill it up to the point I could lift it. The problems I've had with totes include legs breaking off and handles getting stuck up/down. So now I get the cheapest and plan on replacing.
